@hawkeye10,
Strangely I can not remember any conditioning being done not to trust unknown adults in my youth.
In fact there was training to show respect for all adults that I do remember.
The Fireflies of the world had not yet convince the population to fear all unknown males as likely pedophiles it would seems.
Love the idea that if you are a male you should be a object of fear to children because of that fact and a male setting very openly in a middle of a park full of parents along with children telling any child that approach that he or she would need to get a parent over to give approval for any adoption is such an evil figure.
Wonder how I would or could had drag some child off to do evil deeds to them in such a setting but then logic and common sense is never never a high point in the fear all male adults crowd.
Thank god in the end I found homes for those kittens and hopefully good homes at that.
Sadly even those I had all the kittens and the mother checked by my vet for all cat diseases there was a false negative in regards to cat leukemia and with no warning at all I lost the one kitten that I had fallen in love with and kept at the age of two years and found out the mother cat that I had also kept is now checking positive for that deadly cat disease even those she is in good health at the moment. My other two older cats are thankfully not checking positive.
I will never know if my kitten litter mates had come down with this disease also or will do so in the future but I did have the checks done before offering them for adoptions.
Oh yes Firefly my telling of the story of trying to find homes for those kittens at the park is indeed a secret confession that I am a pedophile at least in your sad world view.
Now I will get to watch you cut the above sentence apart and I will see the following being posted "Oh yes Firefly my telling of the story of trying to find homes for those kittens at the park is indeed a secret confession that I am a pedophile" completely out of content.
What a sad and dishonest human being you happen to be.
